My sisters son is 14, has an Xbox in his room. My sister will get up for a wee at 1.30am and he’ll still be playing his Xbox. This aside, he’s a really good kid, academically he’s doing so well and the late nights aren’t yet affecting his school work, he’s not even grumpy at home but DS wants to limit Xbox time, surely there is something you can do on the Xbox to set a timer or something similar to parental control?

Just take the hdmi at bed time.
The temptation is strong.

Easiest way is for Your sister to take the controller off him when she goes to bed. She could look at changing her router settings but that would only stop him from playing online. I don’t think in the Xbox itself there is parental settings unless his xbox account was set up as a child account

Queef that’s a good idea! She works shifts so sometimes goes to bed really early and didn’t want to make him come off at 7 during the weekend, it’s addictive!!
